I can't get more than one ship to dock in my Boreas. I can get either 1 fighter or 1 TS (I haven't tried TP or M6), but not 2 fighters, and not 1 fighter and 1 TS. The info screen for the Boreas says it has 1 docked out of 2 spots.
Otherwise, everything seems to be working great! Thanks for the mod!

That's not quite what I had in mind...fud wrote:Changing Tships is easy enough.
I thought that M2s were getting 1 TS slot and 1 fighter slot.If you don't have the time to do this, or just don't want to, it's not a big deal - I can live with just having a Springblossom docked.
Either way, thanks for the mod!

The M6 docking was an unintended side effect. Originally, the standard extern_TS_dock was only for TS and TP ships. I modified it so it could dock TM as well. Doing so, it also allowed M6 and M8s to dock.
I put the docking body in the scene files before I changed the part in dummies. As a result, the placement of the body in the scenes is probably too close (distance) for the bigger/taller ships, M6s especially.
I probably should have left it the way it was, so that only TP/TS ships could dock.

Like I said, if you own a ship that's modded with this package and it's in sector, or even worse, you're IN it personally, I guarantee it'll give a "corrupt save" error/crash.
The way around it, which is specified in the OP, go to unknown sector with NO ships and make sure you're not in one that was modded, save, exit game, install mod, load that save.
This is no guarantee either, but I had more success with it than crashes.

what about the TM's?
i just bought an elephant, thought I'd dock my Magnetar TM to it (magnetar), and go trollpping around the universe... but i can't dock a TM to a TL .. it's the same size as a Mercury...
all ships of that small size SHOULD be able to dock with the big TL's
in my opinion anyways...
i see no need to limit Trading vessels to trading capitals, and miltary vessels only compatible with military capitals...
(i was a little buggered with that in X3r...)
any way to make that happen?
ok, i think i see why you started this mod.. i can't even dock a TS to my TL Elephant ? i know i docked freighters to my Orca in X3r, didn't need the elephant in X3r, because i bought the Orca..
... it's SUCH a nice way to "get a tow".
go XTM:TC team GO!

There wasn't TS/TP docking in X3R either.
That said, TM/TP/TS/M8/M6/M3/M4/M5 all use the clamp in my mod.
It was an added side effect, and one that's going to be reversed.
I cannot find the external clamp that allows TM without allowing EVERYTHING M6 and smaller, and the TS/TP clamp won't accept TM.
It's a catch-22. I can either allow docking for all of them, or only TP/TS.
If there's something in there that allows TM, I can't find it.

i see, and i don't mind at ALL...
any way you could whip up that version? (sold separately) for those of us that don't mind docking for ALL of them... don't mind at all, so if it's currently that way.. please leave it...
if you want JUST the TS/TP docking.. let that be a separate download...
i always thought it was silly to be predjudiced of type.
